Can't say it did - it was hardly Beverly Hills though then back then! Someone has clearly shitted up the joint, though it depends which end you live on, Downs Road itself I always foudn a bit of a dive, then as you get to the end of that road up to the left was quite nice, but down the hill got a bit nasty at times. Far end (Hovenden and that lot) seemed to be alright digs, but too many councilly looking properties. Nothing cost me more than 60 quid a week, I was happy.

If you're still listening to TMS Ao, do you think they're being a bit delsuional and heady on victory so early??

not really. even if aussies come back 50% harder next test.. we'll equal them.
aussie are really poor atm.

to beat australia by an innings and 71 on that pitch... its just crazy tbh.

We are a much better side than Australia at this moment in time. They're showing a couple of good performances individually, but everyone in our side seems to be chipping in.

One thing is for sure; Australia don't do giving up. We should go on to win from this position but Australia have been assively under par so far and i can see them getting better.

if you took hussey and haddin out of the team, aussies would've scored about 100 runs in the series so far.

Well it's far from over, although it's always worrying when your 2 tailenders easily outscore your first 4 batsmen.

Having the ashes wrapped up before Christmas in Australia? I think that's a first, and I like the sound of it. :D

Again though, never underestimate Aussie spirit tbh.

well england are on the ascent in world cricket. This is by far the best team they've had in many a year. It's really them v india for the no1 spot.

There we go. Test match back on.

What did I say about Aussie spirit? Decent bowling that stayed straight and had some pace, then the swing came from the Doctor late on and that was that. Not sure what the fuck Trott was wafting at with his pull early on.

Another one of those all-too distinctive England collapses. Still, as I said, game on! :)

amazing how quiet this thread is, all mouth when winning but silence when goes the other way. Atleast i admit when my team was shit :)

What i love is that booky who has already paid out on bets for england to win.

It is shock to be honest, we have been fucking horrible in this match and you have looked more robust. England aren't shit, miles better than previous years but they can still be very inconsistent and that smells of bad management to me. Put Fergie in charge! :D
